Question

A line contains the point (8,-5). If the slope of the line is write the equation of the line using point-slope form

Answer 1

`\bold{y+5=\frac57(x-8)}`

Explanation:

`y-y_1=m(x-x_1)` - point-slope form of Equation of the Line

`(8,-5)\ \ \implies x_1=8\,,\ y_1=-5\\\\m=\frac57\\\\equation:\\{}\qquad\qquad y-(-5)=\frac57(x-8)\\\\{}\qquad\qquad y+5=\frac57(x-8)`
